Finder resets path when connected to SL Server

Hi,
I've posted this in the Mac OS X SL -Finder section but was told this was more of a Server issue so here it is again.
I'm having a big time troubleshoothing this. I have a couple a mac clients connecting to a Mac OS X serveur 10.6.2. Most clients are running 10.5.8 and some 10.6.2, me included. Now some users both with SL and Leopard have the following issue. When the connect to the server, navigate to a folder, the finder resets the window to there computer or home folder depending what's in there prefs. This is really annoying since if you navigate to some place on the server to copy something, it resets before you can do it! On user even has this happen when in a dialog box (like save or open) mainly from Indesign. She is running 10.6.2, a machine I just setup from the ground up. The server is also newly installed and running 10.6.2 but I also had the problem with 10.5.8 server. I also redid the whole permission on the server when I migrated from the old server to the new, redid every user. I didn't copy preferences from finder or any other system files besides colorsync profiles and prefs for Adobe CS4 so I don't think those are responsible.
Anybody as seen this? Please Help! This is driving her (and me) crazy!
TIA
Jeff

Hi.
I am having the same problems with one customer server running 10.6.2. Clients updated to 10.6.2 as well.
New server that came with 10.6 (not updated) and I have been troubleshooting the problem for a day and come to the follwoing conclusion.
The problem starts when opening Indesign document off the server (from one of the folders where we are seeing the problem, have only one group that have read/write permissions to everywhere on the sharepoint ACL and Posix). Once the problem starts the only way is to disconnect and reconnect to server from the client and the problem go away. I can reproduce the problem in seconds and happens from every client in this office.
The problem never occurs when accessing the folders from the Finder, only within Indesign and from indesign it affects the Finder.
My workaround is to connect with SMB as i seems to be working. Been talking to Apple and they blame Adobe and Adobe does not support working on files residing on a fileserver.

Opening attachments gives the error : "The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset

Opening attachments gives the error : "The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset. I tried clearing cookies and cache, but it doesnot work. 8 out of 10 times this is happenning. It's reproducible, and happening only after the latest update.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Hello,
Make sure your SQL Server service is started.
Make sure TCP\IP and names pipes protocol is enabled
Make sure you have made an exception in firewall for SQL Server connection
Make sure SQL Server browser service is enabled
Make sure you connect with correct name hostname\instance name for named instance,MSSQLSERVER for default instance and Hotname\SQLEXPRESS for express edition.
Please make sure you use port no when connecting to SQL server listeing on different port (hostname\instance ,portno)

Yes i am hoping staff here will look into things, even if i can not get the speeds back what i previously had for near 6 months it would be nice to know why i can not and why the download has dropped by around 10Mb and why my upload is now inconsistant.
Ironically the post concerned got edited because i actually posted the full rather silly reply the Indian call centre made babbling on about down rates rather than the uprate i queried with them.
Bit of a shambles really no real way on BTs web site to contact anyone with regards to broadband issues.
The form which you kindly suggested and i appreciated your help ended up in the hands of someone who either did not bother to read the query or just had such a poor grasp of English they did not understand the query.
Pretty pathetic really when BT are the largest telco in the UK. I think ill be taking my broadband business elsewhere regardless at the end of my 18 month contract, while im sure staff here are wonderful and may even yet help me, i do not particularly want to go through the almost like pulling teeth pain of getting any future issue looked at.
They are great at quickly fixing voice line problems and have a great test on their site. Broadband side of things and support for that though seems a shambles.

File names disappear, move, swap and are not clickable in finder when connected to a server

It only happens with one of the two user accounts setup on this iMac.
I've deleted and recreated the user account but the problem still occurs.

Hi Barak--
Since I don't have as much experience as Dale has, I never faced such an issue.
You could try the following:
Open Ms Project not connected to Project Server
Open and save the local file as an XML file and close Ms Project
Open again MS Project connected to Project Server
Try to open the local XML file
Hope this helps.

C# app throws error when connecting to indesign server

It throws this exception:
Invalid syntax (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401E4 (MK_E_SYNTAX))
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.MkParseDisplayName(IBindCtx pbc, String szUserName, UInt32& pchEaten, IMoniker& ppmk)
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.BindToMoniker(String monikerName)
Caused by this line:
InDesignServer.Application app = (InDesignServer.Application)(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.BindToMoniker("config uration_noport"));
The server is successfully running with the no configuration parameters therefore the configuration name by default should be "configuration_noport".
Any idea why it's throwing this error? This is a C# 4.0 console application connecting to Indesign Server CS 5 (7.0).

Can anyone from Adobe please offer some more insight on this matter? I have encountered the excact same issues and not been able to find any answers or clues.
Test Steps involved:
- start a named indesign server instance in a cmd using: indesignserver -configuration testServer (and seeing that it's using 'testServer' when starting up)
- running a sample using BindtoMoniker() always works using VS and the built-in dev WebServer and connects to my named instance 'testServer' but never with IIS.
- tried to grant as much as possible to IIS pool identity, DCOM settings etc...no luck
- impersonating as Admin in code and making sure the current thread is authenticated, no luck
- all I can is to fire up new COM instances with IIS using the new:... syntax but not get the named one

SMB connection attempt switches to WebDAV unexpectedly when connecting to OSX server

With Windows 8.1, I can connect to my OSX 10.9.5 Server share point by opening File Explorer, typing: \\<fqdn> and hitting return. I will be prompted for server credentials and when I enter them, I will see the share point.
With Window 10, if I do the same thing, instead of seeing the shareppoint, I see a blank Windows Explorer screen with "This folder is empty".
I contacted Apple with a tcpdump from this and they said that Windows 10 is attempting to connect over HTTP instead of SMB:
ACTION: Windows is handling the connection incorrectly by attempting to use Webdav instead of SMB.
STATUS: As with any other 3rd party integration cases, we attempt to identify an issue as either an issue to a 3rd party product, or to identify and isolate the issue in
the Apple product.
In packet 64 the client sends an SMB 1 negotiate request (expected).  In packet 66 the server responds in SMB 2 with the SMB 2 features it supports
(expected).  In packet 67 the client sends the SMB 2 negotiation request (expected).  In packet 69 the server responds with the SMB2 negotiation response (expected).
Normally at this point the client will send an authentication attempt in SMB 2 using one of the authentication types provided by the server in packets 66 or 69.  Instead
the Windows client sends a tcp connection reset in packet 70 (unexpected).  In packet 74 the windows client initiates a connection over HTTP (extremely unexpected).
The above pattern repeats several times in the tcpdump.
The mac server never presented any HTTP information in the SMB packets.  This appears to be a purely Windows 10 issue.
If I connect to the server by typing: \\<fqdn>\sharepoint -- then I do connect, but the OSX server does not indicate this is an SMB connection, so it must be a WebDav connection (which would be incredibly wrong...)
If this is a settings issue in Windows 10 that is forcing an HTTP connection over an SMB attempt -- can somebody point me where to look?

Chat Applet locks up when connected to a server

Hey, I am making a chat applet to reach out to IRC like servers. The problem I'm having is when it connects the program locks up till the server disconnect, then it prints the spool into my JTextArea.
Now, and more bazaar, is that I cannot find a single instructor on the grounds of my tech school who can help me with networking java when 4 people teach in the damn format. Naturally, I'm very frustrated. Any help would be appreciated.

The full code is at: [http://pastebin.com/m49fe14be|pastebin.com/m49fe14be]
Naturally I'll be changing this again at least once when I figure out how to play this out.

                        connectionAddr = InetAddress.getByName(server);
                        connect = new Socket(server, port);

When connecting to file server via smb shows no space available! Help!

We are running an XSERVE with Mac OS X 10.5.5 and have multiple clients that connect to it (mac and windows).
For some reason yesterday one of the clients (10.4.11) when connects to the file share using the smb protocol shows up with 0kb available and he is not able to copy any files. Every other computer shows 4TB available. When I connect to the share on his machine using my credentials I get the same problem. However, when I connect using his credentials on my machine it shows up correctly with 4TB free. Also, when he connects via AFP it shows the full 4TB. Any idea what could be causing this?
(the reason he connects via smb is because for some reason the people on 10.4.11 experience very slow AFP transfers sometimes. If anybody knows whats causing this that would help too hehe) Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help me.

If it is an identical machine, put the machine that works fine into target disk mode and boot the machine that is having issues from the other machines drive. That will eliminate most hardware issues.
My guess is it is a system file or a settings file in the users library. I have fixed several issues like this on computers that were running 10.4 I believe and think they were upgraded from 10.3 by someone else. The issue had something to do with permissions and files.
Try some of the following:
- create a new user on the computer and see if that user works. if so, it's something in the user folder (most likely User/username/Library/). If not, then it is something outside the user folder.
Try
- running a combo Update on the machine
- run disk utility file and permissions on the drive
- Backup the user folder and clone the drive that works onto this drive, and move the user folder over. (assuming you know how to do that, it is easy)
REGARDING Slow AFP - having the same issue with 10.4.11 Server. Most clients are Leopard. Intermittent, so hard to diagnose. Tried several solutions on this wait and see issue.

D4O-1014 error when connecting to Application Server-- OracleBI Discoverer

Hi everyone,
I try many approaches even remove all dimensions and cubes, still has the error msg when connecting to OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.2.
Oracle Database is 9.2.0.7.0
D4O-1014: An unknown exception had occurred while connecting to the database
Do you have any hint or suggesion?
Thanks.

First : make sure you have a backup of your AW data model.
I think you will find there are some additional CWM/CWM2 dimensions/cubes owned by SH in the metadata catalogs that do not actually exist. I cannot remember all the commands but if you look in the OLAP documentation for 9i one of the OLAP manuals refers to the CWM_ and CWM2_ views and the PL/SQL packages that can be used to remove the dimensions and cubes. I think all the offending objects will be owned by the user SH but check before you delete anything.
Once you have removed the old objects run the following commands as the OLAPSYS user:
exec CWM2_OLAP_METADATA_REFRESH.MR_REFESH;
exec CWM2_OLAP_METADATA_REFRESH.MR_AC_REFESH;
Also make sure you do not assign the OLAP_DBA role to your user, only assign OLAP_USER role.
Hope this helps

Login fails when connecting to SQL Server 2008

There were 3 databases and a report server database on sql server 2008 r2. All were renamed. Now, when trying to connect to sql server I am getting a login failed error for default database. I'm guessing because the default db name was changed. How
can I fix this so that I can connect to the db server\instance?
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, I do a test in SQL Server 2008R2. If you use windows system admin account to log in the instance via Windows authentication, even if you change all use database name, you can still log in successfully. However, if you create
a SQL Server login name to connect to instance via SQL Server authentication, when you change the default database name, it will
occur the error which just like at follows .
//Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user '***'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider), Error Number: 4064//
I recommend you change the default database any existing database on your server like master via clicking on Option , or you can run following statement for username
to replace your original database name with master.
ALTER LOGIN [login name] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = master
GO
Thanks,
